I would keep the paladin class for crusader types and if I was going to have a 'clerical' class, I would rename them prophets and have their divine spells (renamed prayers or miracles) work similar to the way a sorceror's spells work (limited amount of abilities, flexibility in how and when these abilities are used) and I would severly watch to make sure that these prophets followed their alignement to a "T"</blockquote>
